Acne.org Products
hi! im 15 and ive been suffering with acne for over 6 months now. i have all these under the surface pimples on my cheeks and forehead as well a blackheads on my chin. and a lot of redness around my nose. ive tried everything from tea tea oil, black soap, masks. nothing works and my face never clears up. i recently went to the doctor and got prescribed clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide wash. it didn't seem to give me any results. i only used it for about 2 weeks. should i have given it longer? im going back on monday for a check up. are there any specific acne medications i can ask to get prescribed that'll clear up my skin?
I would recommend trying the medication for a longer amount of time. The acne.org regimen, which is benzoyl peroxide based, can take up to 3-4 months to get clear skin. It can certainly be difficult to stick with a product for months until you can see a visual difference, but treating acne is a long-term process, unfortunately.
What's your current regimen (schedule) that you use to treat your acne? (cleanser, products, moisturizer, etc) Maybe there's something in your regimen that you could change to see better results and better treat your acne.
Look forward to hearing from ya soon!
